Over the course of the 1920s, the booming American film industry became organized into the vertically integrated studio system. It was dominated by eight companies: Fox, MGM, Paramount, RKO, Warner Bros., United Artists, Universal, and Columbia. The first five are sometimes grouped as the Big Five and the last three as the Little Three. By 1930, 95 percent of all American film production was concentrated in the hands of only these eight studios.
